This venture marks a significant advancement in connected vehicle technology and aims to enhance supply chain efficiency for automotive manufacturers around the world.

Redefining Automotive Connectivity

The innovative Connectivity Manager developed by IDEMIA allows automakers to enjoy unparalleled flexibility in selecting mobile network operators on a worldwide scale. With this strategy, they can dynamically switch network operators in vehicles as needed, thereby optimizing costs, logistics, and operational performance.

Scaling Innovation in Key Regions

Under this partnership, IDEMIA will manage connectivity for HMG’s vehicles, including models from Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, equipped with eSIMs in strategically targeted markets worldwide. Given that HMG produces millions of vehicles annually, this partnership will see millions of connected vehicles outfitted with IST's eSIM technology each year. The rollout commenced in 2025, starting in the Middle East, where vehicles will be equipped with ready-to-use global connectivity, enabling seamless, location-tailored updates.

Enhanced Driver Experience Through Advanced Connectivity

Thanks to IDEMIA's advanced eSIM technology, drivers will benefit from seamless connectivity for telematics and infotainment systems, ensuring smoother navigation, improved safety features, and effortless access to personalized in-car services. IST employs state-of-the-art GSMA-certified technology and its Connectivity Manager, hosted on the Microsoft Azure Cloud, to guarantee that vehicles equipped with its solutions provide reliable and secure connectivity. This infrastructure supports efficient software updates and robust internet-based services, enhancing both driver safety and overall driving experience.
